Naperville Man Accused Of Possessing Cocaine, 2 Guns Without FOID Card

NAPERVILLE, IL — A Naperville man is accused of being in possession of cocaine and two handguns after his Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card had been revoked. Marcus Wise, 34, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, failure to surrender a FOID card and possession of a firearm without a valid FOID card.

Prosecutors say police were waiting for a judge to sign a warrant to search Wise's home when they saw him get into his car on March 30. Police stopped Wise for a traffic violation and took him into custody for an active arrest warrant.

Police later searched Wise's home with the issued search warrant, they say they found two handguns and cocaine, a news release from the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office said.

“Once Mr. Wise was stripped of his ability to legally own a gun, by law, he is required to relinquish ownership of any guns in his possession,” DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in the news release.

Berlin added, “It is alleged that Mr. Wise maintained possession of his handguns after he knew he was no longer legally allowed to own them. Following an outstanding investigation conducted by the Naperville Police Department into Mr. Wise’s illegal gun ownership, it is further alleged that he was also in possession of cocaine."

Wise is set to appear in court again on April 25.
